Thought I'd share this experience flying back from LAS yesterday - Matching the speed of sound with a 230 mph+ tailwind.
While I can't complain about a 9 hour journey back, I do question the decision to fly through such a volatile jet stream. It was certainly some of the worst prolonged turbulence experience I've had on a flight....

Fairly open availability in Aug/Sept (and sporadic availability elsewhere). I could not manage to find an outbound routing with the babybus, but the return seems widely available. Good TP opportunities if you play around with the dates. 820 TPs using the below routing if I am not mistaken.
Sample:

Have upcoming flight to SEA in F for 2 adults & 2 children made up of 2-4-1 voucher for adults and 2 full fare for children.
I called BA to add SEA-PDX on OneWorld Partner Alaska and was quoted over £18000 :rolleyes:
Even though I can purchase these flights directly with Alaska for $800.
The reason I want it added to my itinerary is so I can get... Read More

I have roughly five itineraries booked over the next few months. For some reason my wife is the only one getting notified of schedule changes for the itineraries she is included on. All flights booked from my SkyMiles account. Confirmed with SM rep that I am listed as primary and they have the correct email address for me on file.
Anyone ru... Read More

[left]Has anyone noticed that you are no long able to book an F or A fare class on a united ticket when you try to book on a Star Alliance flight. The highest fare class available is J.[/left] Read More

Pretty good F fare from Tunisia to Mexico City via the US (for the 777). Fully flexible and unrestricted fare; unlimited stopovers and transfers permitted (oh baby!).
You can route via the West Coast (SFO, LAX) for about $400 more (totally worth it for the longer flight!).
Business (Z) available for $2,400 but much more restrictive.

Hi everyone. I've been reading here with interest for some time. I'll post some "memoirs" another time of some of my memories of travelling staff travel as a child... but a quick question.... or 2, or 3!

I am planning a round trip SEA-LED (St Petersburg, Russia) in April. Would love to purchase on SkyTeam to enjoy my GM status and build MQMs for 2019. But, inexplicably, the fares being offered for every Delta/ KLM/Air France option are just bloody outrageous at over $3600 for Economy class. Fares on various SEA-LED itineraries from OneWorld and Sta... Read More

My wife and i have a significant flight coming up, ORDSEZ via DOH on QR in J. We have flown J before, however both of us felt we did not get the most out of the experience. I know for many J travelers (commuters) it is a regular thing for them, but for my wife and I we only go on 2 trips a year, so J is a special occasion. I'm sure it is not uncomm... Read More

[left]I will be flying solo from Ord to Lhr on 777 (0296) on February 15th in economy. I’m usually a window person but am hesitant due to climbing over two other passengers. Does anyone have suggestions on where to sit to TRY and get some sleep?[/left] Read More

[left]I’ll be flying business class in September from JFK to JRO with a short connection in Doha of exactly one hour.
The connecting flights are Flight 704 out of JFK to flight 1357 from Doha to JRO.
